Consulting

Management Consultants and Executive Coaches are enlisted for one of two reasons: 1) to determine and fix the cause of a company's lagging success or 2) to prevent it from reaching that point in the first place.

This means that the need for such expertise is in high demand. Consultants and coaches need to diagnose problems that are affecting or could affect productivity, offer practical, reliable and valid solutions, and then follow the progress of their intervention to ensure its success. This is a complex job to say the least, but it can be accomplished with greater ease and efficiency with the help of psychological assessments.

Assessments are valuable tools that offer insight into several areas that consultants and coaches seek to amend, including:

Onboarding.This initial period eases a new employee into their duties and the work environment in general. Using assessments before and a few months after an onboarding session can determine the degree to which an employee's skills have progressed, and whether changes to onboarding methods are required.

Career development and growth.If employees are not reaching their full potential, neither will the organization they work for. Assessments can offer insight into individual employees' motivational needs, leadership potential, need for change, and other common employee issues. This will allow a company to set their staff on the path of achievement and job fulfillment by offering them meaningful opportunities to expand and grow.

Reducing turnover and retaining talent.Faulty hiring practices and an inability to offer incentives to encourage employees to stay can result in a loss of money, time, and talent. The use of psychological assessments can help a company monitor issues that can result in the loss of personnel, including problems related to employee burnout, lack of sufficient training, and job-hopping tendencies.

Leadership development.Whether promoting from within or uncovering outside talent, companies need a surefire way to assess whether a candidate has the skills and traits needed to lead employees to success. Assessments can help identify those who have this potential, and help existing leaders and managers improve their skills and adjust their style.

Succession planning.Companies need to be prepared for the future and be ready to fill positions that are likely to be vacated whether through retirement, illness, or maternity leave. Assessments can help cultivate employees for future positions, identify leadership talent, and focus training approaches on areas that need development.
